Burgers:
- 1 lb (455g) ground chicken or turkey
- 1 zucchini
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup feta
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Cooking spray
- 6 whole grain hamburger buns
Toppings:
- 1–2 ripe tomatoes
- Lettuce/Greens

Instructions
- Grate the zucchini.
- Add the grated zucchini, ground chicken, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder and salt to a medium-large mixing bowl.
- Crumble the feta over the bowl.
- Juice the lemon, and add the juice to the other ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Mix the ingredients together thoroughly with either your hands or a wooden spoon, and form the chicken into 6 patties roughly 4-inches (10cm) in diameter.
- Spray a large non-stick pan with cooking spray. Place the pan on the stove and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes or so. (Alternatively, you can cook the patties on the grill).
- Add 2-3 patties to the pan. Flip the patties when the bottom side is golden brown.
- Continue to cook until both sides are medium brown, and patties have reached an internal temperature of 165℉ (74℃) or the juices run clear.
- Remove the burgers from the pan, and repeat with the remaining chicken patties.
- Toast the hamburger buns, and thinly slice the tomatoes.
- Add a chicken burger to each bun and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and tzatziki. Bon appétit!
